The show focuses around roommates Leonard and Sheldon, two highly intelligent scientists who attempt to expand their horizons upon the arrival of their new and extremely hot next door neighbor, Penny. Leonard instantly falls in love with Penny, but its clear Penny's not really looking for the nerdy type. Sheldon's not too enamored with their new neighbor since he's mainly stuck on himself, although Leonard's infatuation with Penny manages to make living with Leonard a little unnerving at times. Throw in two more nerdy scientists (friends Raj and Howard), one who is unable to speak when around women, and the other a geeky Jewish engineer who thinks he's God's gift to women, and The Big Bang Theory manages to be a big bang hit!

ReplyDeleteLeonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper are both brilliant physicists working at Cal Tech in Pasadena, California. They are colleagues, best friends, and roommates, although in all capacities their relationship is always tested primarily by Sheldon's regimented, deeply eccentric, and non-conventional ways. They are also friends with their Cal Tech colleagues mechanical engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali. The foursome spend their time working on their individual work projects, playing video games, watching science-fiction movies, or reading comic books. As they are self-professed nerds, all have little or no luck with popular women. When Penny, a pretty woman and an aspiring actress originally from Omaha, moves into the apartment next to Leonard and Sheldon's, Leonard has another aspiration in life, namely to get Penny to be his girlfriend.
